On Sundays I've started something new - cook enough animal protein for at least 5 days, and steam-saute many different types of veggies and roast a squash or two, or sweet potatoes. The veggies aren't cooked all the way, just enough. Makes meal preparation much easier and quicker during the week and allows far more variety. My body needs more than protein and baby spinach or kale This is my first week with this new approach and it seems to be working well. I get home from work 3 hours before bed time so there just isn't much spare time to spend in the kitchen on weeknights. With the right mix of spices and veggies I create quite a variety of "hot plates" without a lot of work or expense.
